Well done. I've been with you for nearly 30 of those years and it's nice wh=
en the occasional post still pops up these days.
A bit like an old friend calling, reminding you they're still alive!

weeks at a time.
But it is still here, still on the air, still serving the purpose I have
always upheld, connecting like minded users to mostly car stuff. And
always for free. I do remember back in the beginning it was pretty
expensive to run. Fast, at home internet was not widely available. And
the first server, one of the earliest PCs in the valley to run at over
100 Mhz ( Yes, MEGA Hertz! ) cost me $2,500 dollars. Luckily paid for
by generous contributions from list members.
Time marches on, and so does Team Net. I'll keep it going as long as I
can, health permitting. Who knows, maybe I'll be sending out a 50th
birthday notice!
